So, adios…

I am drinking vodka with cranberry juice right now, and finishing up the last of my packing. I am still a bit out of sorts, and have litle insight into life that I can offer. I suppose that should change quite soon.I am currently reading Camera Lucida by Roland Barthes. The book is required reading for my first class, “Introduction to Performance Studies.” Over the weekend I played the traps for the first time in about a year. It was interesting to an extent, but it doesn’t hold much of my interest, nor does a ‘traditional’ notion of playing music e.g.; you me and possibly some other people ‘keeping a groove.’ I do, however hold an interest in music of a more avant garde nature. People playing music together can be a great thing, but I feel like approaching it with an alliance to the efforts of the past seems banal. With certainty, my efforts and alliances are not of a codifying nature, they are merely what stimulate me, and cause me to have those experiences which are so patently ‘art.’
